Meyer wavelet

Syntax

• [PHI,PSI,T] = meyer(LB,UB,N)
  [PHI,T] = meyer(LB,UB,N,'phi')
  [PSI,T] = meyer(LB,UB,N,'psi')
  

Description

[PHI,PSI,T] = meyer(LB,UB,N) returns Meyer scaling and wavelet functions evaluated on an N point regular grid in the interval [LB,UB].

N must be a power of two.

Output arguments are the scaling function PHI and the wavelet function PSI computed on the grid T. These functions have [-8 8] as effective support.

If only one function is required, a fourth argument is allowed:

• [PHI,T] = meyer(LB,UB,N,'phi')
  [PSI,T] = meyer(LB,UB,N,'psi')
  

When the fourth argument is used, but not equal to 'phi' or 'psi', outputs are the same as in the main option.

The Meyer wavelet and scaling function are defined in the frequency domain:

• Wavelet function

and

where

• Scaling function

By changing the auxiliary function (see meyeraux for more information), you get a family of different wavelets. For the required properties of the auxiliary function , see "References" in Chapter 6, "Advanced Concepts", of the User's Guide.

Examples

• % Set effective support and grid parameters. 
  lb = -8; ub = 8; n = 1024; 
  
  % Compute and plot Meyer wavelet and scaling functions. 
  [phi,psi,x] = meyer(lb,ub,n); 
  subplot(211), plot(x,psi) 
  title('Meyer wavelet') 
  subplot(212), plot(x,phi) 
  title('Meyer scaling function')
  
  
  

Algorithm

Starting from an explicit form of the Fourier transform of , meyer computes the values of on a regular grid, and then the values of are computed using instdfft, the inverse nonstandard discrete FFT.

The procedure for is along the same lines.
